To find riches invest in your mental wealth
what does wealth
mean to you is it based on monetary
value
or your well-being and how do you
measure it
victor frankel who in his book man’s
search for meaning
mentions research from john hopkins
university
asked when considered what was important
to them
the participants 16 of them said it was
to make a lot of money
seventy eight percent said their first
goal was
finding meaning and a purposeful life
i must say i was very encouraged
indeed a purpose for life means
different things
to different people and it’s about
knowing your way i recently took part
in the seven levels deep exercise
and this has given me so much clarity on
my strengths
my passion and my purpose
thinking on this only a small population
in the world
achieve financial wealth and the same is
for mental wealth i have worked in
mental health services for over 22 years
i have experienced a lot and i’ve also
learned so much
global suicide is at an all-time high
according to the world health
organization 800
000 people die by suicide every year
that’s one person every 40 seconds
the same amount of time it takes to
write and send a short message
or pay a bill online the world health
organization also states
that 204 64 million people
are impacted by depression people of all
ages
are impacted your health is truly your
wealth
and this includes your mental health i
would say even more so
you and you alone are responsible for
your mental health and well-being
and we all have the ability to achieve
mental wealth
if we truly invest in ourselves
i believe it’s not good enough to just
survive with our mental health
we should thrive with our mental wealth
mental wealth is that higher level of
mental well-being
that allows us to achieve our potential
find our passion and our purpose
build resilience to allow us to overcome
anything that we are faced with in
maslow’s theory
we are all aiming or moving towards
self-actualization
which is the way of the part of maslow’s
hierarchy of needs
with everything below having to be
achieved before we accomplish
self-actualization
which is a psychological state of
presence
self-acceptance self-expression
and authenticity this can be achieved
when you invest in yourself
think of your mental state as your house
you build it bit by bit
you’ve got good days and bad days you
know what you need to do to build it
and good setting good foundations is key
the foundations of your well-being are
in what you practice
on a daily basis the five ways to
well-being are an essential part of this
connect learn give
take notice and keep physically active
if you implement these the public health
agency states
that this will keep you well safe and
hopefully free from harm
in your home however this does not make
you wealthy
it is what you invest in outside of your
home that creates wealth
the same applies for your mental wealth
it is in
everyday practices in addition to
meeting your basic needs
that contribute to this set your goals
and your intentions develop a plan to
action them
meditation affirmations gratitude
raising your energy and your vibration
as you deposit money into the bank
and let it accumulate and withdraw when
you need it
the same applies for your mindset so
as with keeping your house in order you
also need
to deposit these into a mindset bank
when you can draw on them when you need
to
especially if you have lack of
motivation adversity in your life
or are hit by the hard knocks of life
and we’ve all had to deal with them
i’ve known times in my life when i have
felt adversity
when i have felt grief loneliness
and pain and it was in my daily
practices that i
found strength courage and resilience
meaning that i did not dip as far as i
potentially could have
because i have achieved mental wealth
affirmations discipline in our thoughts
creating a healthy mindset are all
important factors
the four agreements are included in all
of this
be impeccable with your word do not take
anything personally do not make
assumptions
and always do your best
these raise your level of mindset adding
to your mental wealth
you do not have to achieve this alone
however
to activate mental wealth is to
recognize and create a support system
around you
i personally am part of an amazing
mastermind
and also a coaching group of ladies i
invest in myself in all aspects of my
life
physically mentally spiritually and
emotionally
everything is connected in napoleon
hill’s book think and grow rich he
states your body achieves
what the mind believes it can this is
paramount
we need to start with our mind as it all
comes from within

mental wealth your five gold bars
